This month's full moon occurs at lunar perigee. The distance is only 222,000 miles and the moon will appear 14% larger than at it's farthest distance.

I'll be looking!

Hey, friends....the event is on SATURDAY and not Friday at sunset. So sorry.

I suggest a glass of (name your beverage), and let's sit out on the porch.

Oh good, I'm glad it's tonight, not last night, because I hadn't read this post yet! So I'll be watching, perhaps with a beverage.

Oh man.....it just got cloudy out and its suppose to rise in 20 minutes.

I hope that you were all able to have a good show! What a moon! Even though we don't have an unobstructed view of the horizon, when it DID rise above the trees, it was spectacular.

It was clear here, and the moon was beautiful. We don't have an unobstructed view either, but I could watch it through the tree branches. It DID look bigger than usual, almost like you could reach out and touch it.

Now it's Spring!!
